ASEAN-India Vision 2020:
Working Together for a Shared Prosperity

The Vision 2020 of ASEAN-India Partnership proposes a long-term strategic roadmap that will enable them to exploit the synergies to foster a comity of nations firmly integrated at commercial, cultural, political and social spheres and to achieve their respective long-term developmental goals. Given the complementarities between ASEAN and India, a greater integration will help them join the ranks of developed economies. It will also enable them to address the common challenges to comprehensive security. The eventual vision of the ASEAN-India Partnership is to promote Asian economic integration as a new engine of growth along with other East Asian countries (Japan, China and Korea).

This document has been prepared as per the mandate of the Second ASEAN-India Summit held in Bali in October 2003 which called for preparation of a long-term road-map for the growing ASEAN-India partnership prepared by the think-tanks of the region. It represents the outcome of a wide ranging consultations within India and between RIS and ASEAN-ISIS and other think-tanks in ASEAN.
